It's likely there may be some changes.
The machines will run your mail last. :neutral:

I take it they are CSS machines (WalkSequenced Mail).
It really depends how many offices your machines will feed.

The mail for the other offices will be run first to allow for the extra time needed to get it to those offices. So yes your offices mail will be run last and they will be very likely to be looking at moving your start times. My office has the earliest arrival time for second wave in our area and they still want start times of 0700-0745.
